A Texas teacher is accused of having sex with five high school students at her home.
Arlington police say the students were 18 or older, but it's a criminal offense for teachers to have sex with a student — no matter their age ... The 27-year-old Arlington woman was jailed on $125,000 bond after turning herself in Monday morning.

Students bragged about it, and that's what ultimately led police to a Kennedale High School teacher who, they say, had sex with five students. Police said the offenses took place inside the Arlington home of 27-year-old English teacher Brittni Colleps. A student told News 8 that one of the teenage boys who was involved was bragging about what happened and another student put the scandalous claim in her diary. When another teacher found the diary in a classroom, she says, the school notified police.

The student told police the relationship began with sexually explicit text messages and photos that they sent to each other for about a week in late April. The student is a football player, according to the school’s website. On April 26, they texted each other about having a sexual rendezvous at her home that night, police said. About 10 p.m., he arrived at her home in the 5500 block of Bright Star Trail, where they had sex, police records state. He left her home about 6 a.m. About an hour and a half later, he received a text message from Colleps stating that it had been fun, police said. Later that day, she invited him back to her house, where they again had sex, records state. The student also told police that he and four other male Kennedale students had sex with Colleps during the same encounter, records show. Police analyzed the student’s phone and found video footage of him and Colleps having sex, police records state. Police interviewed a second student who identified himself as being present during the time the video footage was taken. Police also found sexually explicit text messages between Colleps and the 19-year-old student, records state.

A Kennedale High School teacher is behind bars for allegedly having sex with five students. 27yr old Brittni Nicole Colleps is accused of having sexual intercourse with the students at her home in Arlington. The students also told police Colleps sent them text messages and pictures, both of sexual nature.

Colleps is married to a man who serves in the military, and is currently stationed elsewhere. Her attorney tells FOX 4 the couple has three children. Investigators say the children were not at the home during the offenses. Colleps posted $125,000 bail Monday afternoon. She is charged with five felony counts of inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a student.

The mother of one of Colleps' alleged victims is not waiting to make her opinion known ... She pointed out that had the sex acts occurred a few weeks later, after graduation, they would not have been regarded as a crime. At least one other student who allegedly had sex with the teacher agreed. In a written statement to News 8, he said: "I don't want to press charges."

A teacher has been jailed after being accused of having sex with five of her teenage students during an orgy at her home.Brittni Colleps, a married mother of three, invited the boys to her Texas home for the sex romp and the encounter was filmed on their cell phones. The 27-year-old's husband was away overseas duty serving with the US military.

The sexually explicit text messages began April 20. For about a week the teacher at Kennedale High School traded "sexts" with an 18-year-old student, and on April 26, after watching the Rangers lose to the Blue Jays, 10-3, he went to the teacher's house in Arlington, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Once there, the student and teacher, Brittni Nicole Colleps, had sex, setting off an erotic escapade that eventually would involve her having sex with four other students, including one act that was videotaped, according to the affidavit.

The husband of Brittni Colleps, the Kennedale High School teacher accused of having sex with five students, appears to be standing by her side for the upcoming asf legal fight. Lex Johnston, the educator's attorney, told News 8 that Colleps' husband was with her on Monday as she turned herself in to police. He is also the person who bailed her out of jail. Colleps is also getting compassion from what may seem to some to be an unlikely source — the mother of one of her alleged victims ... News 8 has learned that the families of at least two of the students say they do not want her to be prosecuted.

Colleps is a teacher at Kennedale high school. Police say, she had sex with five teens at once, on multiple occassions, and even video-taped it. All the teens were 18 or older, but it's illegal in Texas for teachers to have sex with students.

Regardless of the accusations, her husband is choosing to stand by her side.
“I want you to know I love my wife. I have loved my wife since the moment I laid eyes on her over 11 years ago,” said Army Specialist Fourth Class Christopher Colleps. “I have always supported my wife, and I will continue to support my wife through this whole, entire ordeal.”

The husband of a Kennedale High School teacher accused of having sex with five of the school’s students boldly voiced support for his wife Thursday. With a forlorn Brittni Nicole Colleps standing a few feet behind him, Christopher Colleps said he remained committed to his wife of seven years ... Brittni Colleps, 27, faces five felony counts of having an inappropriate relationship with a student. She is free on a $125,000 bond that Christopher Colleps paid after raising money from family and friends, her attorney said.

The husband of the Kennedale High School teacher who is accused of having sex with five students stood up for his wife Thursday and asked that people refrain from passing judgment on her ...With his wife, Brittni, at his side, he said he will continue to support her throughout the "entire ordeal."
